Business Environment

Canada and Sri Lanka have strong bilateral relations based upon shared participation in the Commonwealth and development assistance through the Colombo Plan. Since the ending of Sri Lanka's civil conflict in 2009, trade between the two countries has shown signs of recovery and continues to build. Sri Lanka has developed a low-tariff, open trade regime and has free trade agreements with several countries including Pakistan and India. The country's proximity to other lucrative markets in South Asia provides a major economic advantage and incentive for foreign investors.
